Hi,

Recently, having problem with downloading speed with my StarHub connection.

Done a "speedtest" with WIRED connection to my currently using wireless router which is a 3COM Office Connect and below is the speed:

I unplug and direct connect to the Starhub modem:

Finally, dug out my previous wired routed which is a SMC barricade and here is the speed:

Confirm that I need to replace my 3Com router and router does affect the connection speed. I have 2 questions:

1. Thought of replacing it with the Aztech HW550-3G, is it good?
2. Any wireless router to recommend which the speed will be as close as connecting direct to the Modem?

TIA:s12:
